Instructions
1

Start by marinating 1 pound of thinly sliced beef in a mixture of 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger for at least 30 minutes.

2

While the beef marinates, prepare the spicy pineapple salsa by combining 1 cup diced fresh pineapple, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced), and the juice of 1 lime in a bowl.

3

Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld. Next, make the cilantro-lime crema by blending 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lime, and 1/4 cup fresh cilantro in a food processor until smooth.

4

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.

5

Warm 8 small corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of the grilled beef on each tortilla, top with the spicy pineapple salsa, and drizzle with the cilantro-lime crema.

6

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
